Chapter 1340 Sanzang Is Not in a Hurry (Please Subscribe)
What is the position of the inspector?
Tang Sanzang was confused.
Wait a minute, what inspector is this? Does it have anything to do with me?
It seems... it has nothing to do with me.
He frowned, his expression was extremely strange, "Your Majesty, I..."
"Your Majesty, you are wrong."
Li Er said: "You are my sworn brother. Although you are a monk, you are also considered a member of the Tang Dynasty royal family. Jiang Aiqing is the inspector I personally pardoned and appointed. From now on, you will be like an imperial envoy, inspecting the world for me, so you should see him."
"Yes."
Li Er said so much, Tang Sanzang naturally couldn't ignore it.
He hurriedly bowed to Jiang Que and said: "I have seen Jiang Inspector. Your Majesty can get the assistance of such a person as the inspector, and you will be able to govern the Tang Dynasty better."
He said this quite smoothly.
Ahem.
Although it was a bit against his will, Tang Sanzang felt that this was his true intention, and there was absolutely no exaggeration.
He, Tang Sanzang, was very accurate in judging people.
Absolutely right.
He saw that Jiang Qie was gentle and refined, had a bookish air, and was also a character, and should be a talent.
At least.
Li Er would not be wrong.
He thought so in his heart.
However.
Jiang Qie smiled slightly, "Sanzang is too flattering, I just have some insignificant skills."
It really doesn't deserve praise.
At this time, Li Er also smiled and said: "Jiang Aiqing has a natural talent, so he is naturally worthy of the position of inspector."
However.
Then Li Er changed his tone and said: "Ahem, my brother, there is one thing I hope you can forgive me. Although we have sworn brotherhood, there is no witness yet.
How about letting Jiang Aiqing be a witness?"
Tang Sanzang instinctively wanted to refuse.
After this, I don't know how long it will take.
The journey to the Buddha's residence in Lingshan, Xitian, is already a long way. If it takes some more time, where will there be a chance.
I'm afraid it will be very long.
Ten thousand eight thousand miles away.
It's terrifying to think about it.
This distance is really too far.
Therefore.
Tang Sanzang was very anxious.
He wanted to tell Li Er that he wanted to leave now.
But every time he said it, Li Er pulled him away, either to hold a sworn brotherhood ceremony or to take Tang Sanzang to meet various ministers.
At the same time.
He also wanted to let countless people know that he, Li Er, and Tang Sanzang were sworn brothers.
This matter was a sensation.
The sense of ceremony was also created, and it was meant to let people know.
Jiang Que, the inspector, accompanied him. During this period, the civil and military ministers in the court also knew about Jiang Que's existence.
They were all a little curious about this suddenly appearing inspector.
He could actually fool Li Er.
This is rare.
Ordinary people, don't think of fooling him.
You know, the position of inspector did not exist before.
In other words, it only exists now.
It is a new position, which is considered a position specially set up for Jiang Que, which is enough to show Li Er's love for Jiang Que.
Presumably, the two should have reached some agreement, which cannot be disclosed.
Of course.
Tang Sanzang didn't know about these things.
He only knew that Jiang Que was very strong.
He only knew that this person was highly valued by his brother Li Er, otherwise he would not have been pardoned and appointed as the inspector of the Tang Dynasty.
Before this.
Li Er had already introduced it to him.
The inspector was the only official position in the Tang Dynasty, and it would not disappear as long as Jiang Que was there.
Such a promise.
It was not only a love for Jiang Que, but also an attitude, showing his attitude of Li Er.
From then on.
For several consecutive days, he held celebrations, and Jiang Que accompanied him.
Of course.
There was also Tang Sanzang, the master of Jinshan Temple.
However, Tang Sanzang was always absent-minded, and his mind was not on this.
Instead, he wanted to go west to obtain scriptures immediately.
But Li Er didn't go.
He always made excuses with various reasons, and no matter how anxious Tang Sanzang was, there was nothing he could do.
Li Er could always stand from the perspective of righteousness, and always make him lose the opportunity to refute, and the reason to refute.
Everything seemed particularly calm.
He didn't understand.
I was a little overwhelmed.
Half a month later.
Tang Sanzang finally couldn't help it, and he said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for more than ten days. The ceremony has been completed and I have met the people I should know. I don't know when Your Majesty will let me go to the West to obtain the scriptures."
After all, obtaining the scriptures is a big deal.
He was very anxious.
He wanted to set off as soon as possible.
His purpose was just to get the scriptures back as soon as possible.
But the problem was.
He had no way to get it now.
Li Er would not let him go.
At this time.
He said to Tang Sanzang: "Sanzang, don't be anxious, it's still early.
Besides, you are still young, there are plenty of opportunities, so don't worry about time.
Today.
It is a banquet specially prepared for you by the inspector Jiang Aiqing to celebrate your upcoming journey to the west to obtain scriptures. This time, not only I am invited, but also the whole court.
Do you want those civil and military officials to not see you?
You are my brother, and I have promised you that I will go. You are making it very difficult for me to do this."
Tang Sanzang: "..."
He really wanted to ask, Your Majesty, are you serious?
Although.
Delaying one or two days is nothing.
But if it goes on like this, how can they bear it.
Very annoyed.
Tang Sanzang wanted to cry in his heart, but he knew that since Li Er only talked about this, he would never say anything else.
There is nothing I can do.
"Your Majesty, since you have said so, the poor monk has no choice but to go there."
It’s okay if he doesn’t go.
The look on Li Er's face made it clear that he wanted to go, but it was not okay if he didn't go.
"That's good. As my imperial disciple, Sanzang, you are my brother. If you don't go, it will be too disrespectful to me."
Li Erdao: "You must know that this is the first time Jiang Aiqing has hosted a banquet for officials. The protagonist is not him, nor me, nor the civil and military officials of the dynasty, but you."
Tang Sanzang: "..."
He always felt that Li Er was deceiving him.
But no evidence could be found.
In his opinion, Li Er and Jiang Que definitely had a purpose in taking turns entertaining him.
Tang Sanzang still had this level of understanding.
However, he can't say it directly now.
That won't work.
He felt extremely sad.
I thought to myself: "That's it, just this time. I will leave after their banquet is over."
Tang Sanzang knew it very well.
Although the banners Jiang Chi and the others used were all to curry favor with him, Tang Sanzang, they were all to please him.
After all, he is close to the Bodhisattva and also close to Li Er. It can be said that he has become the most popular person in the world in one day.
It seems reasonable to say that someone is flattering.
but.
Tang Sanzang always felt that this matter was strange.
It's a bit incredible.
In the afternoon.
Enter Jiang Chi's inspection envoy's residence.
The guests came and went like a door passing through the market, and it was very lively. It was true that there were many scholars talking and laughing, and there were no idle people coming and going.
All kinds of people were coming in and out.
As for why the banquet was arranged in the afternoon, this was also the result of Jiang Qian's careful consideration.
In the afternoon.
After eating and drinking, it was almost evening.
At this point, it was impossible for Tang Sanzang not to lose face, nor to leave arbitrarily and unreasonably.
Even if he wanted to, Li Er and the others had enough reasons to stop him, and Tang Sanzang wanted to leave.
"Sanzang, don't look so sad."
Jiang Que said: "It's rare for us to get together, so it's right to be happy. Don't think about those unpleasant things."
"..."
Tang Sanzang's heart suddenly felt cold.
What else are you happy about?
Going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures is the happiest thing for me.
It's a pity that he can't say this directly, and it's not easy for him to say it.
Otherwise, the impact will be huge.
He knew that in some ways, Li Er and Jiang Que were doing this for his own good.
Knowing more nobles will help him promote Buddhism. Even if he gets the Buddhist scriptures back, he still needs to promote them.
Translations of works are also needed, and these tasks cannot be done without the support of the nobles present.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move even an inch.
So Tang Sanzang remained silent.
Sometimes, as a person, you have to face this kind of thing, because people are so sophisticated.
This is normal.
He had to pay attention to it, and Li Er would also ask him to pay attention to it. "I just hope that after this time, I can escape from such a worldly thing, so that I can go to the West to learn scriptures."
At this time.
Just when Tang Sanzang was thinking wildly, Jiang Chi suddenly said: "Sanzang, let me ask you, what will you do after you get the scripture back?"
"Of course it is to promote Buddhism, save all sentient beings, and save people from the sea of suffering."
Tang Sanzang said without hesitation that he had really thought about this issue.
This is also the purpose and significance of his going to seek scriptures. This is why he goes to seek scriptures.
As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
"..."
Jiang Chi rolled his eyes at Tang Sanzang angrily, "Sanzang, I think your thinking is too simple and too grand."
"How to say?"
Tang Sanzang was puzzled. Is there something wrong with his own ideas?
He thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with it.
"There's a big problem here."
Jiang Que said: "Let me continue to ask you, if you retrieve the true scripture, how will you promote Buddhism?
Are you going to be a walking monk by yourself and go around talking about it?
Going to the West to learn scriptures is a thousand miles away. How much time do you need to spend on it?
When you come back, you may be very old and still need to translate those Buddhist scriptures. How can you have extra time to promote Buddhism?
Even if you can preach, how many people are there in the Tang Dynasty, can you guarantee that half of them can hear your lecture?
I'm afraid not.
Because most people can't even solve their own food and clothing problems. How can they have the opportunity to listen to your lectures?
Therefore, if you want to save the world from suffering, you are afraid that it will become a dream and come to nothing. "
"..."
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he immediately panicked, "How could this be? There is nothing wrong with saving all sentient beings and saving them from the sea of suffering."
In fact.
He already knew that what Jiang Que thought was true, and he also knew that what he said was correct.
This was a fact, a fact that Tang Sanzang had to admit.
"It's a result of low productivity."
Jiang Que explained: "If you want to solve this problem, you must teach the Dharma to those who have enough to eat and warm clothes.
Because they are nobles, wealthy people, and the ruling class. They control most people in the world.
That is to say, the people of the Manchu Dynasty, if they are good to the people of the world, then it will be a peaceful and prosperous age; if they are not good, then it will be a chaotic age full of bones.
His Majesty's wisdom alone is obviously not enough to completely solve the problem, so he will take you to so many banquets.
We all thought that with Sanzang’s intelligence and understanding, you should know the cause and effect.
Now it seems that the situation is not what we imagined.
Only if you use Buddhism to save these upper-class nobles can you give ordinary people a way to survive.
What they long for is just enough to eat, that's all. "
certainly.
This is also Jiang Qian's idea.
So he synthesized it and planned to instill relevant theories into Tang Sanzang.
In fact.
In this era.
It is still the so-called scholar-bureaucrats who control the world, and it is still those high-ranking family groups.
They rule ordinary people and have certain connections with the gods and Buddhas.
Seeing Tang Sanzang deep in thought, Jiang Qian didn't feel embarrassed, "Also, these nobles are just a part of the nobles in the world, including the five surnames, Qi Wang, etc., they are the real controllers of the world.
Moreover, they have certain connections with gods and Buddhas, and they may not be saved by you. Therefore, Tripitaka, you must be very careful about this matter. "
Tang Sanzang: "..."
He suddenly felt that he was under great pressure.
Inexplicably heavy.
